A vlog , also known as a video blog or video log, is a form of <a href="/facts/Blog/bb6awu2X">blog</a> for which the medium is <a href="/facts/Video/F1AV8ben">video</a>. Vlog entries often combine embedded video (or a video link) with supporting text, images, and other <a href="/facts/Metadata/qt35z79C">metadata</a>. Entries can be recorded in one take or cut into multiple parts. Unlike a more general video diary, vlogs are often recorded <a href="/facts/Selfie/DrNvltwj">depicting the maker throughout</a>.
In recent years, "vlogging" has spawned a large community on social media, becoming one of the most popular forms of digital entertainment. It is popularly believed that, alongside being entertaining, vlogs can deliver deep context through imagery as opposed to written blogs.
Video logs (vlogs) also often take advantage of <a href="/facts/Web_syndication/C4TMjD3W">web syndication</a> to allow for distribution of the video over the <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a>, using either the <a href="/facts/RSS/WBAWrkdj">RSS</a> or <a href="/facts/Atom_(standard)/69syB8dH">Atom</a> syndication formats, for automatic aggregation and playback on mobile devices and personal computers (see <a href="/facts/Video_podcast/arkeh0YV">video podcast</a>).
